I read somewhere that annelids exhibit higher evolutionary complexity than a mollusk. What do you think ? I always thought it was the other way around (i.e. thought mollusks exhibit higher complexity).
 
Annelids have a closed circ system while mollusks have an open. But whose to say if this is to explain why it is or isn't considered to be the winner in complexity. But I just thought the fact would help decide.
